As I am the so called 'Village Idiot' I only ask for comity.
Not sure which road our beloved TT is driving down. If as usual; at the end of a flute of champers, I would assume he is trying to gain responses!.
Our 'Specialist' as stated, informed me yesterday, that he will no longer place info, or replies onto this site, as he is so disgusted at the level of the 'English' wording that is delivered, or, the immaterial unimportant subjects that are placed.
I think we all should understand that he was a Teacher of high order, and therefore if when you place a message on this site, and it is inappropriate to ALL, then something is quite wrong. In doing so, you have 'devalued' the understanding of the English language and made a mockery of many hundreds of years of a developing nation.
ALL our 'Specialist' is asking, is that you do NOT demean our quite succinct wonderful language; which is spoken world wide, and when you place a message on the board, kindly place it so ALL of us can understand; and cherish your correct English spelling. This is not a lot to ask. There is Dictionaries available to all, and of course 'Spell Check'. I am only stating what our 'Specialist' has stated to me!. PLUS remember there are youngsters 'looking' in that might adopt your 'quaint' wording.
I shall say no more. Please remember that this message board, goes out 'World Wide' and therefore whatever we place on this site, is seen in many Countries. I do NOT want these Countries to think we are a bunch of illiterate or unstable individuals.
Many thanks.
Mike
